DO YOU NEED A CLEAN TRUCK CHECK IN ORANGE COUNTY?

All heavy-duty diesel vehicles operating on California’s public roads must now obtain a Clean Truck Check from CARB-certified Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M) technicians. Staying compliant is crucial to avoid DMV registration holds and hefty fines of $1,000 or more per day, per vehicle.

Our certified technicians use state-of-the-art testing equipment to conduct CARB Clean Truck Check inspections on 2013 and newer vehicles throughout Orange County. The quick and convenient OBD Clean Truck Check process allows us to electronically submit your test results directly to CARB.

Our STAR certified Smog Check & Test Only Center is authorized to perform STAR certified smog tests.

During the smog test, which takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, your vehicle will undergo the following checks:

✓ Tailpipe emissions of Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) will be measured

✓ A visual inspection of the emission control system and components

✓ The functionality of your vehicle’s OBD system

✓ Inspecting the vehicle’s engine light, ignition timing, gas cap; and fuel evaporation and gas recirculation systems

Once the STAR certified smog test has been completed, the results will be generated to the DMV. If your vehicle has passed the test, we will issue a STAR-accredited certificate.

Brake Inspection Process

Is your brake service light on?
Do you hear any noises when you apply the brakes?
When braking, do you feel vibrations or smell abnormal odors?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it is time to inspect your car’s braking system to diagnose the problem.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST?

If your vehicle’s engine light comes on, you need to have your car attended to right away. This does not mean that you have to wait for something major to happen before coming to see us. If you feel that your car is not running as smoothly as usual, or that something is amiss, it’s always best to have a check-up. When issues are identified early you can prevent more serious damage and prevent expensive repairs.
